Services
Advanced Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations utilise advanced OCT technology to detect early signs of eye disease. The 30-minute process includes digital retinal imaging, intraocular pressure testing, and visual acuity assessment. Our optometrists provide detailed explanations of results and create personalised eyecare plans based on predictive analytics.
Dry Eye Management
Specialist treatment for dry eye conditions using advanced meibomian gland analysis and tear film assessment. We develop customised management plans combining lid hygiene, nutritional advice, and targeted treatments like IPL therapy to improve tear quality and ocular comfort.
Myopia Management
Evidence-based programmes for slowing childhood myopia progression. Using orthokeratology lenses and atropine therapy, we create individualised treatment plans supported by regular monitoring and centile chart analysis to track visual development and intervention effectiveness.
Contact Lens Fitting
Expert fitting for all contact lens types including specialist rigid gas permeable and scleral lenses. Our optometrists conduct thorough eye mapping and tear film assessments to ensure optimal lens selection, comfort, and ocular health maintenance during extended wear.
Glaucoma Screening
Comprehensive glaucoma risk assessment using Goldmann applanation tonometry and OCT nerve fibre analysis. We monitor family history factors and provide ongoing management for ocular hypertension patients, with specialist referrals coordinated when necessary.
